The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The objective is to identify the underlying relationship between the given pair of words and apply the same to choose the correct option from the given choices.
The provided pair is SOUND : CACOPHONY.
A "cacophony" is a harsh, jarring mixture of sounds, implying an unpleasant aspect of "sound".
Therefore, we need to find an option where the second word represents an unpleasant or negative aspect of the first word.
Analyzing the options:
  • speech : oration - "Oration" is a formal speech, which does not have a negative connotation.
  • touch : massage - "Massage" is a therapeutic touch, without a negative connotation.
  • smell : stench - A "stench" is a strong, unpleasant smell, establishing a negative or unpleasant aspect.
  • taste : style - "Style" is neither related nor negative with respect to taste.
The correct choice is smell : stench, as it mirrors the negative relationship of the original pair.
